The Whisky Forum: Mexican whiskey distilleries

Message

   Does anybody know anything about whiskey distilleries in Mexico, particularly in Juarez? Apparently there was a distillery in the first half of the 1900's owned by the Mackays (see http://www.whiskyportal.com/distillery.asp?DistilleryID=1358). Also, a (newer?) distillery is located in Juarez (see http://www.whiskyportal.com/distillery.asp?DistilleryID=1359). Any information on these distilleries will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

	Quite a number of American whiskey distilleries moved to Mexico, primarily Juarez, during Prohibition. Famously, Joseph L. Beam made there, among other things, Waterfill & Frazier. Here's a bit of info regarding that label, for example: http://www.rubylane.com/shops/herringhill/item/w-1093?gbase=1
